Brickell
Key is a man-made island of the mainland Brickell neighborhood of Miami,
Florida,
United States.
Also called Claughton Island, the neighborhood is just east of Downtown
Miami and the Miami River.

The history of Brickell Key real estate can be
traced to 1896, when Henry Flagler had a 9-foot (2.7 m) deep channel
dug from the mouth of the Miami River. In the process, Mr. Flagler created an
off-shore property composed of two small islands. In 1943, a real estate
investor, Edward N. Claughton, Sr. acquired the Brickell Key islands and
eventually purchased additional bay bottom land to combine them to a 44-acre
(180,000 m2) triangle-shaped tract separated from Brickell and Brickell
Avenue by only a few hundred feet of water.

In the late 1970s, Swire
Properties purchased most of the island real estate property from
the Claughton, and began to put into place a master plan that would ultimately
transform it into one of the most distinctive island communities in the world.
